Well right, that's why this is so important that Congress cannot obligate or mandate that the executive branch must pay out.

This is why it is so important to remember that the co-equal branches design of the US government prevents exactly that situation.

The Treasury has enough revenue to service its debts, so as per the 14th there should be absolutely no question about defaulting. That the executive branch is even talking about defaulting is really out of line. The president is threatening explicitly to violate the Constitution.

That's a big deal to me, but apparently we're cool with it.
